Charlie's Soap manufacturer to expand into Stoneville - Greensboro News & Record

STONEVILLE – The Rockingham County Center for Economic Development, Small Business & Tourism and the Town of Stoneville have announced the expansion of Sutherland Products Inc., the homegrown manufacturer of the Charlie’s Soap brand of cleaning products.

The company is investing over $1 million with the purchase and upfit of a 120,000-square-foot building in Stoneville that will be used for distribution and office space.

Sutherland Products’ manufacturing operations will remain in its original location in Mayodan.

“We are in dire need of more space for our logisitics and distribution, especially because our laundry powder has been hovering in the number one spot on Amazon for five years in a row now. This new location will allow us to make that process more efficient,” said Taylor Sutherland, company president. “The new space will also allow us to design the offices and warehouse to include more natural lighting, which will make the work environment better for our employees.”

Sutherland Products currently has 20 employees. While there are no new jobs with the expansion at this time, company officials say this investment will allow them to expand down the road when jobs are necessary.

“Homegrown, entrepreneurial companies like Sutherland Products are the backbone of our economy,” said Jan Critz, director of the Rockingham County Center for Economic Development, Small Business & Tourism. “We are delighted to see the company making this investment in Rockingham County and we look forward to supporting their continued growth.”

“The Town of Stoneville is thrilled to welcome Sutherland Products, Inc. as our newest corporate resident,” said Stoneville Town Manager Kenneth Gamble. “The company has an excellent reputation for being innovative and having a strong sense of corporate citizenship. We are pleased that they will continue their success story while maintaining their ties to western Rockingham County.”

Originally created to clean textile machines in the mills, Sutherland Products Inc., is a family company based in Mayodan. Founded by Charlie Sutherland, Jr., the company has been in business for over 40 years.

When the textile mills moved overseas, the second generation of Sutherlands—Charlie’s sons Taylor, James and Morgan—restructured and grew the business beyond industrial cleaning. In 2002, Charlie's sons took over, launched the Laundry Powder, rebranded the company and its products, and modernized operations. Since then, Sutherland Products has enjoyed an average 25 percent growth year over year. The company sells products online as well as through thousands of brick and mortar locations in all 50 states and 50 countries.
